As part of the University of Maryland, Baltimore's (UMB) Founders Week celebration, students, staff, and faculty are invited to visit five historical sites on campus Oct. 21 between noon and 2 p.m. Leading up to Founders Week, we are highlighting one of UMB's Historical Treasures each week:
JOSEPH U. DORSCH SR., BSP ’39, PHARMACY MUSEUM
Location: 20 N. Pine St.
This beautiful space in Pharmacy Hall contains historical items of importance to the pharmacy profession and the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy (UMSOP), such as unique glass bottles, jars, paper prescriptions, advertisements, and other artifacts donated by alumni.
Among the items on display are the diplomas of UMSOP graduates Alpheus Sharp (Class of 1842) and Louis Dohme (Class of 1857), who co-founded the company Merck Sharp & Dohme.
